Family therapy and counseling in Bridgeport, CT

I am a person centered therapist with specialties ranging from trauma, CBT and ASD. I have a history working with ages spanning early childhood to middle aged. I provide a holistic approach that incorporates creative and unique interventions.

Samantha Figueroa specializes in helping people heal from anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and trauma. She takes a trauma-informed, strengths-based, holistic, and somatic approach to work with clients to help them heal and improve their relationship with themselves, others, and the world. She is also a meditation and yoga teacher, shamanic practitioner, and sound healer.

Hi, I’m Jessica, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing virtual therapy in Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Florida. My personal experiences have deeply shaped the way I approach therapy and the kind of space I strive to create for clients. I know firsthand that healing and growth are rarely linear, and that support looks different for everyone. Because of that, I don’t believe therapy should feel rigid or “one size fits all.”

My approach is warm, compassionate, and grounded in genuine human connection. I want therapy to feel like a space where you can exhale a little, show up authentically, and talk openly about both the heavy things and the everyday moments that still matter. Yes, I absolutely want to hear about your stressful week, your latest life spiral, and how your pets are doing too. Alongside the deeper work, I believe there is real value in feeling comfortable enough to be fully yourself in session.

I strive to create an environment where you feel heard, supported, and never judged. Together, we’ll explore the patterns, stressors, and experiences that may be keeping you stuck while building practical tools, emotional insight, and confidence that feel sustainable outside of therapy. My hope is that you leave sessions feeling more grounded, more connected to yourself, and more capable of navigating life with clarity, self-trust, and compassion.

Welcome, and thank you for visiting my page.
